Holy is the Lord God Almighty
We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our strength

We bow down and worship him now
How great, how awesome is he

And together we sing, everyone sing

Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
The earth is filled with his glory

We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our strength

We bow down and worship him now
How great, how awesome is he

And together we sing, everyone sing

Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
The earth is filled with his glory

It is rising up all around
It’s the anthem of the Lord’s renown

It is rising up all around
It’s the anthem of the Lord’s renown

And together we sing, everyone sing
And together we sing, everyone sing

Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
The earth is filled with his glory
The earth is filled with his glory

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — It Is Finished
There’s no deed that can redeem us
There’s no right nor magic word
Only by the work of Jesus can salvation be secured

It is finished, he has done it
Let your weary heart rejoice
Our redemption is accomplished
Raise a shout with ragged voice

And go bravely into battle
Knowing he has won the war
It is finished, lift your head and weep no more

There’s no sacrifice to offer
There’s no penance to complete
Freely drink of living water
Without money, come and feast

It is finished, he has done it
Let your weary heart rejoice
Our redemption is accomplished
Raise a shout with ragged voice

And go bravely into battle
Knowing he has won the war
It is finished, lift your head
Let every sinner rejoice
Hear the dying victor’s cry
Raise up your voice
Sing it out through earth and sky

It is finished, he has done it
Let your weary heart rejoice
Our redemption is accomplished
Raise a shout with ragged voice

And go bravely into battle
Knowing he has won the war
It is finished, lift your head and weep no more

A Confession of Jesus Christ
Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:

He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit,
seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations,
believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

—1 Timothy 3:16 (ESV)

 

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Praise to the Lord
The Almighty, the King of creation
O my soul, praise him
For he is thy health and salvation

All ye who hear
Now to his temple draw near
Praise him in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord
Who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under his wings
Yea, so gently sustaineth

Hast thou not seen
How thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what he ordaineth

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Praise to the Lord
Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee
Surely his goodness and mercy
Here daily attend thee

Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do
If with his love he befriend thee

Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before him

Let the ‘amen’
Sound from his people again
Gladly for aye we adore him

Let the ‘amen’
Sound from his people again
Gladly for aye we adore him

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Sermon
“That You May Know”
1 John 5:12-15

 

Prayer of Confession
Father, have mercy on us.
Our sins are more than we can bear,
and our guilt is greater than we can overcome.
Fill us with the assurance of Jesus,
whose death is our atonement,
and whose life is our life.
Make us a merciful people.
Teach us to forgive others.
Help us to practice grace.
Fill us with your Spirit.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Jesus, I Come
Out of my bondage, sorrow and night
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come
Into thy freedom, gladness and light
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of my sickness into thy health
Out of my wanting and into thy wealth
Out of my sin and into thyself
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of my shameful failure and loss
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come
Into the glorious gain of thy cross
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of earth’s sorrows into thy balm
Out of life’s storms and into thy calm
Out of distress into jubilant psalm
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of unrest and arrogant pride
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come
Into thy blessed will to abide
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of myself to dwell in thy love
Out of despair into raptures above
Upward forever on wings like a dove Jesus, I come to thee

Out of the fear and dread of the tomb
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come
Into the joy and light of thy home
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of the depths of ruin untold
Into the peace of thy sheltering fold
Ever thy glorious face to behold
Jesus, I come to thee

Praise God from whom all blessings flow
